Good morning Burgundy! Approaching one of the many locks on the Yonne on our river boat that sleeps 30. We dock at night then ride 40-50 km on average to the next destination with stops for sightseeing, wine tasting and a panier picnic, then reboard at the next docking point for a wine tasting led by Murray Bancroft, dinner from the Italian chef, and a briefing from the 2 Dutch bike guides. Wonderful experience so far from alumni UBC and World Wide Quest tour operators.
